10 Ways to Die at Comic Con

The vessel had just left Peru. The wizard stood on the roof looking at the open ocean. He was worried he wouldn’t make it in time. He wouldn’t miss it again this year.

After many weeks the ship finally pulled into port in San Diego. The wizard floated off slowly and landed on the ground. This was still strange to him, especially considering his former life as a neurosurgeon.

His mission was complicated. The gauntlet had almost been reassembled, and once it was not even Living Tribunal would be able to help them.

He found his companion and used the Uber app on his phone for a Spanish driver. No sense in stirring up the crowd. He arrived 15 minutes later. He knew it was too late. Heroes from other universes had already made an appearance. Someone was using the reality gem.

Darth Vader’s storm troopers walked down the street. They were talking about getting cheeseburgers. The sexiest rocket raccoon with vampire teeth stood looking at a map. This was going to be a mess.

The worst thing though? It was hot. Desert hot. Who in the hell had decided to have this in a place like San Diego? The people seemed not to mind the heat and obnoxiously blue sky. Maybe it was just him. He had traveled to the bottom of the world to a place called Kadath in the cold waste, and decided when this was all over he would have to return. This place was not for him.

The lady clown stopped him. She called herself Scarlett Checkers and claimed to be from Philadelphia. He told her that California was going to melt her face make up. She gave him a bowl of bite size Snickers and told him she was late for a Cannibal Corpse concert.

The first way to die. Lack of water. Almost no one had any, and so many people with powers. This place was a powder keg waiting to go off.

The main event was being guarded by the watchers. No matter how strong the wizards magic he could not get inside.

Hot, tired and discouraged, the wizard gave up. He would have to wait until next year to try and get inside the mysterious building.

Comic Con, Slayer and heroes

Remember last week when I published the Zombie walk post? Well comic con was going on at the same time. I got downtown about 2 hours early, and just hung out around the convention center. I’m seriously glad I did, because I saw some very hot ladies, of course it helps that I love ladies in costume!

I’ve loved comics for a very long time. I think my first exposure was a show called “Spiderman and his amazing friends”. I hope I didn’t just date myself there! If you’ve heard of it I’d love to know though, just give a comment in the facebook box at the end of this entry.

I started collecting comics in the 1990’s, and could never get enough of them. I was mostly a Marvel fan, I never really liked any of the DC characters. Superman, Batman and Green Lantern just seemed kinda silly, although I did like Lobo, for those of you that have heard of him.

My go to Marvel series was pretty standard, Darkhawk, the punisher, X-men, the Hulk, Spiderman, but I think my favorite may have been a tie between a series from Marvel called “The New Warriors” and “The Silver Surfer”

However, I knew better than to try and talk about comics with most of the comic con goers. These people are on a dedication level I can’t begin to touch!

Come on!! The 5^th Element! How cool is this? Which one do you think is the better?

One of my favorite things on this whole planet is a raven haired beauty in leather or latex. I don’t know how you could improve on a lovely lady like this!

Poison Ivy in the flesh, and working at a bar in the Gaslamp, everyone got in on the fun at the Comic con!

Just another odd assortment of colorful characters. Everything from sexy robot ladies to Stormtroopers!

Get a load of these ladies! I didn’t even pay to go to Comic con, I had a great time just hanging outside the doors!

While I was out shooting I saw a guy crossing the street. He caught my attention because he looked very familiar. Then my mind clicked. This guy looked exactly like Kerry King!

For those of you who don’t know who Kerry King is…well you suck. Seriously though, Kerry King is guitarist in a band called Slayer. I’ve listened to Slayer for as long as I can remember. I’ve got all their CD’s, tapes, posters, shirts, watched their videos hundreds of times, learned their songs on the guitar, I think you get the drift.

I make a decision, I’m gonna go approach this guy who looks like Kerry King. I run across the street, almost get hit by a car, and yell, “Kerry!!”

The guy stops, turns to his right, and looks at me.

Me: Dude, you look exactly like Kerry King!

KK: I am Kerry King. (Very calm)

Me: No FUCKIN way!!!!

KK: Well take it or leave it

Me: Well dude if you are Kerry King, your my fuckin hero, I’ve played your music all over the middle east!

KK: Thanks dude (shakes my hand)

Me: Can I get a picture?

KK: (poses)

Me: (click!)

That was it, Kerry King crosses the street carrying his Comic Con bag and is gone. It was one of the oddest experiences I’ve ever had.

This is the picture Kerry King let me take.

Kerry in the odd event you read this, thank you for being so cool!!
